the best acne solution out there

I had no problems with acne until I was about 18. Now I’m 22, and have had embarrassing acne since. It made me feel self-conscious all the time, whether it was at work, at college, or at parties. I hated it whenever my boyfriend got close to my face.
I tried every product I could afford and visited a dermatologist several times. I’ve tried creams, overnight gels, face washes, antibiotic pills, you name it. The treatments I tried either did nothing significant or made my skin very irritated and worsened the condition. I have very sensitive skin so I couldn’t use most of the treatments prescribed to me from the dermatologist.
I had finally given up and told myself I would just have to settle with having bad skin. I felt totally helpless.
My mom ended up sending me this product, which I was embarrassed about at first. But let me tell you, I can’t thank her enough because I’ve used this system for about a month now and I am basically a new person. My skin is completely clear like it hasn’t been for years. I’ve experiences NO irritation whatsoever. I can’t say what it does in the long run, but so far it has worked wonders. I get comments all the time from friends and family on how good my skin looks. In just 2 days my skin felt and looked better, and now I don’t even have to wear makeup. I’m so much more confident.
I highly recommend this system!
Seriously over-hyped – don’t waste your money

I’ve tried them all. Proactiv, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Phisoderm, Clinique, other over-the-counter treatments, as well as prescription washes, creams, and pills. I can honestly say this is the WORST one I’ve ever tried. Seriously disappointed.
I used this religiously for three weeks and my acne has actually gotten worse… not one sign of improvement. And if that isn’t enough, the creams are not even comfortable to put on – the night cream being the worst. It’s thick and sticky and leaves your face feeling like a dried up raisin. It dries out your face and makes it tight and itchy. Seriously unpleasant. The day cream has an SPF in it, and although that sounds appealing, I feel like all that’s in it is sunscreen. It smells like sunscreen and makes my face extremely oily. The general face was is okay but leaves a bit of buildup unless you spend five minutes rinsing.
So please… read all of the reviews here and make the decision for yourself. Everyone’s skin is different, but at least take this review under consideration. It’s a serious waste of mulah!
Just started using it
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I just began using this less than a week ago and I have already seen improvement! I understand that everyone is different and your skin may not react to this treatment as well as others but so far I am seeing great results!
I have combination skin, it gets oily throughout the day and I have to use oil blotters at time, but at the same time it can also get very dry! It’s not terribly sensitive, but it leans more to that side.
I was afraid that this product would dry out my face and although it does dry it out a little bit initially, the lotion has really helps to balance out the Ph in the skin!
This product has already been clearing up my acne and I am so far very happy! Hopefully it will keep on working!
2 thumbs up!
Finally acne free!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My acne did not start until my 20′s. It was concentrated on my forehead and chinline and although it was not severe, I always had at least 1 or two large, painful pimples. No one should have to deal with zits into their late 20s! I tried all the high end products and even other Neutrogena products without positive results. Then I found the Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System which I bought on a whim because it was on sale. I have used this system everyday for four years and a breakout is now an anomaly and most likely the result of my not using the system for a few days. The face wash always runs out first but as long as I have my day and night creams, I remain breakout free. To address those who complain of dry skin, I only use the day and night creams on my trouble areas (I have combination skin) and I always layer on another moisturizer on top of the system. I will panic if they ever discontinue the system or change it in anyway!
Better than what the Dermatologist gave me!

I’m am a 14 year old girl who started getting acne at the age of 10, during the (short and not so great) 4 years I have tried a great variety of acne products, including Proactive and things the Dermatologists (two different Doctors) have proscribed. When I started using Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System two things happened. 1) I didn’t have any breakouts. 2) My skin never dried out. Even with the products the Doctors gave me I dried out like crazy!! But with this my acne hasn’t flared up.
It’s also great because now if I forget my lotion and go to a friends house and then come home and use it the next night I don’t break out like I did with other things.
I think Neutrogena rocks!!!! But like all products it might not work for all people, but it’s worth trying.
It worked immediately!

I started breaking out about 2 months ago. There was acne all over the sides of my face. It wouldn’t clear up on its own so I knew I had to do something about it. I’ve broken out in the past before and tried Proactive and Retin A before (topical treatment) and both did not work for me! In fact, both those products made me break out more. I don’t know why that is because it seems to work wonders for other people. I decided to try this product because I had seen it in a drugstore before. My face was even more swollen and painful after many extractions I got from a facial. One day after the facial, I started using the face wash and acne lotion as directed. In as little as two days, my acne started clearing up! I could see a significant difference. I dried up the acne and I could feel how tight my skin felt after washing my face with this product. I didn’t start peeling from the dry skin until about a week and a half into using the product. In a week my skin was almost back to normal, I just have some scarring now from some of the acne. I would definitely recommend this product. When my mom saw that I had purchased this acne system she told me don’t use drugstore products! You don’t know how it’ll affect your face, they probably use cheap ingredients in the product. I’m glad I didn’t listen because it’s not true! It worked for me. I may switch to a normal face wash and lotion again now that my skin is cleared up (2 weeks into using the product), it does dry up your skin but that is much BETTER than having acne all over. But if I ever break out again I will definitely go back to Neutrogena’s Complete Acne Therapy System!
Amazing!

At 29 years old, I’ve suffered from moderate to severe acne since I was 16. I have tried everything from Proactiv to prescription creams and pills (a total of 6 failed prescriptions). After using Neutrogena for 3 months, I have perfectly clear skin. I do get an occasional zit here and there, but my face is no longer covered with acne.
The cleanser doesn’t dry out my face at all. The spf lotion is amazingly light and I don’t even feel it on my skin.
I highly recomment this to anyone!
Great product but look out for dryness
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a remarkable system that is both easy to use, not too many steps, and leaves your face feeling smooth and clean. I have been using this for two weeks now and besides a very brief period of “getting worse before getting better” my face is virtually blemish free. Be patient this system works but for me at least it took these two weeks and not the four days it claims on the package. The reason I gave this four stars is that it can cause some annoying dryness. My neck became very dry and a little chapped after the first week. I simply reduced my application to once a day and put some petroleum jelly on my neck. It feels fine now. Please try this product. It is so affordable and readily available. I used proactive before and was put off by the contractual obligation to reorder. Besides that, it never worked as well as this Neutrogena kit.
Great if you have oily skin
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I am 27 and have oily skin prone to a a little bit of acne. I always was looking for something that would prevent my acne, but still provide me spf protection without giving me oily skin (I don’t like going out without sun protection, but HATE that my face gets so shiny). Well, i found it! i liked that 1. It’s cheap for all three things. 2. it works very well. My face has dramatically cleared. Not just that, i dont have anything new popping up too. Only thing i didn’t like was the excessive dryness/flaking. Actually, I added on Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Tone Correcting Concentrated Night Serum – 1.0 oz.(a retinol cream with vitamin C and Soy) at nighttime to help with the flaking and take away discoloring i have a little bit of from my old acne. i found that my regimen that works for me is using benzoyl peroxide cream twice daily after washing (i do skip the benzoyl peroxide on the days that i feel is too dry). I use the spf lotion every morning. and i use the night cream i bought also at night. i really liked the combo. Also for your background, i have tried Origins (found it didn’t work as well, and my skin was still oily, Plus it’s expensive, aveeno spf lotion (too oily), eucerin daily lotion with spf 30 (it was okay, but i was missing the acne treatment component), Murad (too expensive and didn’t help with oilyness, just helped with acne).
works as advertised
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Good product as long as you make sure to use it gently (don’t rub the cleanser too hard). The acne control lotion isn’t really a lotion; it’s more like a gel. Aside from that, this is a good product, I would recommend it.
My favorite feature is the oil-free sunblock lotion. It comes really useful in Florida.
Worked for the first couple of weeks and then BROKE ME OUT!!!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I used Proactiv for a little over two years and then decided to try something cheaper and hoped to get the same results. So, I saw Neutrogena Advanced Solutions on T.V and decided to try it. For the first week I didn’t have any breakout; the second I had a pimple; the third week there were pimples here and there on my face and it made me upset. I understand that Neutrogena Advanced Solutions works for some people (probably those with mild acne) but it’s by no means better than Proactiv Solution. I also tried other products beside Neutrogena Advanced Solutions that didn’t work for me. I’m back to Proactiv now and i have clear beautiful skin again. Proactiv Solution is a little pricy but it’s the BEST acne product that I have used by far. For those who have tried several acne products that did not work, try Proactiv Solution because it works!
The most work I’ve done for the smallest effect.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This product was really unimpressive. It helped my skin, but not nearly the effect that I had gotten when I tried Proactiv. I wish I wasn’t banking on it making me pristine before my wedding. Mostly my problem is oily skin, so it might be different for someone with different skin. The bottle sizes are very different, so it was easy to run out of one bottle before the other.
I can’t recommend this enough
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have combination skin (oily in the T-zone) suffered from acne throughout high school, and enlarged pores since college. I’m in my mid-twenties, and I’m on my fifth set of this system. LOVE IT! For the first time, I no longer have to wear concealer or foundation – my skin is almost completely clear, and my pores are visibly smaller. And I no longer have to powder my nose in the middle of the day.
The cleanser can be a little drying with twice a day use, but I find that extra moisturizer really helps to balance that out, and the results are worth it.
Also, Amazon’s price is significantly cheaper than any store I’ve come across, so will purchase from here in the future.
so far so good
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Maybe it’s just that it has only been about 3 weeks, but the product seems to be working. From the first week I saw a difference. The lotion keeps breakouts at bay and coupled w/ moisturizer my face feels healthy.
I hope it continues, as the results so far have been better and more consistent than Proactiv.
An Honest review
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
At first I was skeptical about using any other products but Proactive’s system. Proactive really helped clear away a lot of my blemishes and scars and really made my skin perfect. After 2 years of not using it, I started breaking out like when I was in high school again and so I bought this product over the counter. It was cheap enough to risk and try it out. So far my face is clearing up nicely, unlike other products I have used (no thanks clean and clear). Any who, I only have one negative about this product and it’s that it dries your face up pretty quickly if you use to much of the acne killing bottle, but I just balance it out with a bit of moisturizer. Specifically L’Oreals “Active Daily Moisture Lotion”. SO if you cant get your hands on Proactive’s system or looking for a cheap alternative, this is a fantastic product.
